My chocobo is Bowie who will never quite be sufficiently flamboyant because he refuses to be Rolanberry Red instead of Dalamud Red.

My chocobo is Hotspur because I couldn't think of anything else and I also can't pass up an opportunity for a Shakespearean reference (and also soccer.)

I called mine Parthimal to go with the whole paladinly vibe. I should rename it something more French sounding though, because my boy is an Ishgardian Elezen.

CORPO COPS CAME FOR MY :filez:
So I recently resubbed and logged in and decided not to play GNB anymore, so I opted to try out DRK. Obviously I'm relearning how this game works and what not and I'm doing deep dungeons/guildhests/roulettes to level and learn DRK. I left off just before the Tsukuyomi primal fight in the MSQ, how much more to go do I have before breaking into Shadowbringers?

Also is there a list of items I can safely throw away or something, I feel like I have too much junk.

You're not far - that fight is in patch 4.3, and 4.4 is when you start seeing the Shadowbringers prelude story, so you've probably got a few hours *at most* until you're in ShB proper.

Awesome!

if its like crafting materials check their price on the mb and sell/vendor appropriately

if its like old gear it will only be useful for glams so either that or gc seals/desynth

The only male character in Automata that you have the option to look like, looks like a twelve-year-old boy in shorts, so… not really a lot of options there.

The button-up jackets from Copied Factory and heavy longcoats from Puppet's Bunker look pretty good imo, hoping whatever the 5.5 raid is will bring the assault armor from later in automata

My favorite emergency maintenance was because on an Aether server, Grassman in Rak'tika wouldn't stop casting Chest Thump so he was endlessly getting damage up buff stacks while using a 25y+ aoe attack

You're pretty close to Shadowbringers, just a couple more dungeons and a bunch of chores before you're there.

For you inventory, you can just dump crafting materials, you tend to pick up a lot from fighting random mobs. Unless you have some huge stacks from purposefully grinding the past or gathering, it's not worth checking the MB, most stuff goes for a pittance. Old gear you can either sell or stuff in the glamour dresser.

My rule of thumb is that if I don't remember it being valuable, needed for anything immediately, or being hard to get, then it can be tossed because it's clearly not relevant enough to be worth stressing about.

You're 1 trial, 2 dungeons, and about 30ish quests away from ShB. As for junk items, depending on how long ago you last played before you resubbed you might still have the items for upgrading poetics gear (eg. carbontwine, carboncoat for upgrading ironworks gear, darkest gobtwine and darkest gobcoat for shire gear, scaevan ester for scaevan gear, etc.), which are now defunct and can be safely thrown away. Anything else, you should stuff in a retainer if you have space, or see if it's worth anything on the market board.

I hope you're not trying to do it via just brute forcing crafting.

ive been slowly doing the ivalice raid series and i just got introduced to fran, whose name i assume is short for 'franservice' because 90% of the cutscene introducing her was her butt, her boobs, her feet, or her feet and butt at the same time.

Huh, didn't have that much efficiency leveling there, but I've only done it for 60+.
I'll probably just laze it out and do mostly beast tribe quests + weekly deliveries for the rest.
Amount of ingredients most crafting needs at higher levels is exhausting.

She is actually an FFXII character... and yeah, she basically looks like that there, too.
